The Rebel Accountant

@FI_Wagz Thanks Jamie!

@RebelAccountant Loved your first book. Very funny read so looking forward to this one!

Was Donald Trump's penguin tax the culmination of a Soviet plot? Probably not. But find out why it's worth pondering in: Moneymania Out 7th May. Pre-order before 20th February and get 25% off at Waterstones with code FEB26

@steiner_marwin I hope you like it!

@RebelAccountant Lfg, looking forward to it

@oli7crown Thanks Oli!

After finishing this book I realised that I’ve heard that rich get richer and now I know how rich get richer by avoiding taxes. A well written book I recommend to anyone with a brain. Thanks @RebelAccountant 📚

@welshwizard62 Thanks Ian! Enjoy your poaching...

@RebelAccountant Just finished taxtopia, ace book. I'm gamekeeper turned poacher. HMRC to financial accountant.

Want to read the book that everyone* is talking about, but don't want to pay more than 99p for it? Well, for all of February you can, on your Kindle... *sorry, I mean 'someone' (hopefully).

@HelenBang Thanks Helen! Ah yes, that Blighter. I mention him in Chapter 3 - he was talking about a tax known as the Capitation.

@RebelAccountant Loving the audiobook. There was a quote about the Duke of Orleans, something about paying as much tax as he chose? I'd be grateful for a pointer to the right chapter, thanks.

Want to read Taxtopia with only one hand? The paperback is officially out this Thursday! (Though if you ask nicely at an independent bookshop they'll probably give you a copy today.)

@justinpclark That's great to hear - thanks Justin!

@RebelAccountant enjoyed your book so much, thank you - bought a copy for my eldest who’s connected with that side of things 👍

@carlgomb That's an interesting question. HMRC publish annual reports on the "Tax Gap", though perhaps they're marking their own homework...

@RebelAccountant What's the best way to get a handle on how much more tax revenue UK PLC could raise if there were no legal tax avoidance? Some sources quote £1-5 Billion (not that much in the grand scheme) but presumably this doesn't include multinationals, all the property shenanigans, etc?).

@carlgomb Thanks Carl!

This is a fantastic book. Hugely entertaining (it's long, but hard to put down), packed with crystal clear explanations and great examples of all those tax terms, schemes and rules we've heard about. And often laugh-out-loud funny. @RebelAccountant we salute you! #Tax

@RowanMMcDade Thanks Rowan!

Highly recommended holiday reading from @RebelAccountant

@JerryLGiles Thanks Jerry!

@RebelAccountant Just finished reading your book for a second time. Took my time to read and understand your ideas for a simple and fairer system. Have to say you have a great idea with the NVAT and WIT.

@rac240464 Thanks Richard, I hope your apprentices enjoy it too. Suggestions always welcome.

@FundilyMundelly Oh, that's brilliant!

@RebelAccountant just finishing the book. Surprised you don’t have On Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs as one of the bond titles.

@dinkuglasgow Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it.

@RebelAccountant just finished reading book. Simply superb and exciting. Finally I realized why salaried tax paying people like me in India are worse off despite compliance

@Johnc1508 Thanks John!

Thank you @RebelAccountant, this is a mighty fine read. Recommended, everyone needs to read this. If more people understand, then the more chance that we can hon the state to account. You will be angry (if you aren’t very wealthy at least)

@neilpin80 It's not often you read the words "Snail orgies" in an article about tax. Thanks, Neil!

@RebelAccountant One for you here! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@EmmaMay That's great to hear, thanks Emma!

@RebelAccountant Loving your book.

If you would like to know what Jeremy Hunt is talking about... Taxtopia is on a promotional sale on Kindle for 99p. thesun.co.uk/news/politics/…

@Breakinskinny @jimmycarr Thanks Hassan. I'm proud of that particularly sophisticated gem.

@RebelAccountant,I just finished reading your book. Great work—I absolutely loved the humor, especially the 'poo chicken' part 😂😂. I think you could take on @jimmycarr any day, like you sorta did already in the book ."

Great thread from @CubaNgondi
